<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> POTS & PANS, BAKEWARE: -"Stock pot, (I use it for making chicken stock every month from frozen bones & carcasses left over from our weekly roast chicken)" -"my pizza stone. In fact, I now have two- when going to the trouble of making pizza, might as well make two! The crust comes out nice and crisp on the bottom." "Pizza stone & parchment paper. Build the pizza on the paper & slide it on to the heated stone." [pizza stones were mentioned by several people] -"Now, I have had lots of different stainless cook sets, and this is the best one so far. It is called "The Main Ingredient" and I think it is a house brand for Dillard's (they are a May Company store like Bloomingdale's)... The whole set cost about $150.00 on sale, so it wasn't the super-expensive stuff, but it did make a huge difference in my being able to leave pasta sauce on the stove all day at low temp without burning." -"I love my pressure cooker... cooks things very quickly. " -" My Exopat baking mats." -"Hamburger Bun pans from Baker's Catalogue (ordered on line): http://ww2.kingarthurflour.com/cgibin/htmlos.cgi/2452.4.3531218884048225 6184 I make a dozen buns & freeze them." -" Springform pan for cheesecakes and torts. Pamela's shortbread type cookies make such a good crust, everyone will want your desserts." -"non-stick pizza pans... (I like the focaccia recipe in B. Hagman's book above. I use this for pizza dough. It is wonderful!" -"I'm not sure how to discribe it, but it's made of a bendable material about 9x 13 oblong and fits on a cookie sheet and are used to bake cookies on without greasing but I use it mainly for rolling out dough. Parchment paper would also work well for dough. You can find them in different sizes and usually in a good kitchen shop. I bought mine in Whole Foods but they are a bit expensive, about $20." -"Must haves include the Chef's Pan (kind of like a wok) from All-Clad. I am fortunate that I live near the All-Clad outlet and can buy this stuff at their two annual seconds sales at greatly discounted prices. This is a great pan for stir fries, pad thai, etc." -"Everyone should have a 5 1/2 quart Dutch oven." -"I have a Lasagne Pan from Emile Henry that is great. It cooks food much better than Pyrex. Sometimes food sticks and burns on my Pyrex dishes, but this rarely happens with my Emile Henry. I use this whenever I can." -"Another must is english muffin rings. I use them for my hamburger buns. they are great. " -"Fagor Duo pressure cooker :)" -"Pizza is the favorite all around, my sister gave me a pampered chef, pastry roller, flat 3 inch roller on one side and the other side has rounded edges about 1 1/2 inches long. I either flour the top of the dough and grease the rollers, or grease the plastic Reynolds Wrap and roll over that. With making pigs in the blanket, I use the pizza dough, about 1 tablespoon and put the greased plastic wrap over it and roll slightly and wrap the chicken nitrate free hotdog and bake like the pizza. Also just started using Martha Stewards bakeware from K-mart for the Pizza, easy making and easier clean up." -"I like the Sil Pat for rolling out pie dough and flipping it into the pie pan. I also like a tool from the Pampered Chef that is a rolling pin with a handle in the center and a roller at each end, two sizes, both small and work well using saran wrap to roll out most things inside the pans, bar cookies, pie dough or anything." -''My family is just my teenage daughter and me. We both are celiac, and she has developed sensitivities to all dairy products and grains, including rice. I have stopped completely trying to find gf substitutes for other fondly remembered foods, and we just use fresh veggies, fruits and meats. I have found it useful to just get a couple very big pots. I schedule a Saturday every once in a while to be a cooking day. I make large quantities of stuff like stew, chili, soup, and so forth. I freeze meal size portions in those disposable containers, label them with the date and the contents. This way I spend no time whatsoever cooking during the times in between cooking days. I just thaw and heat. Add a veggie & fruit and presto, dinner! Or lunch.'' ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
